I always had a visual approach to things in my life, even as a child. I started my career of visual artist playing with Photoshop and lots of other funny things when I was too young to remember it. Discovering photography with a visual-artist background has been magnetic and quite easy.

I started taking photography seriously ten years ago, always aiming to the best and always looking at the great past and contemporary masters as my sole mentors.

I enjoyed how this image revealed itself slower than usual. For instance, the row of coupled statuettes along the building's roofline, the wispy white veil against a white highlight that is only seen shortly after we see the attendant's hands grasping at the air. A millisecond later, I noticed the bride's escort in his black tuxedo against a black background of course. Visual "playtime" can be fun!

The lighting in this image performs magic with the details of the brideʼs dress being fastened, the small highlight of her tiara and the delicate adornment that matches the theme of her dress. The attendant's hands act as an entry point while her shadowed head and the windowʼs center support act as soft frames.

This obviously happened quickly and the photographer did a nice job capturing the wedding party member trying to save the day. Nice shot.

It was only a matter of time before they flew, but when it does it goes fast. Nice framing and quick shooting.

The posture of this poor guy chasing after something ensnared by the wind really makes this a fun moment. But, thereʼs a surprise here. Notice the base of the terrace umbrella in the foreground. Itʼs tipping forward, as though it wants to join his frantic race. Alas, itʼs a cliffhanger. Will it or did it fall? Meh… who cares, when your eyes already feast on the biggest slice.

Strong composition and good design. Love the reflections and really love the accent of all the items on the wall behind.

The juxtaposition of similar actions seen in the reflection of a computer monitor is a good example of “seeing” by the photographer. I’ve always believed that photojournalism is a good example of the difference between seeing a moment rather than just noticing it. Obviously we notice first but seeing with a camera in the hands of a skilled photographer produces the visual language that is readable by all. This photo is a good example of that relationship between a photojournalist and that singular expression of image to “visual words.”

There’s a lot to look at in this image and helps to hold my attention. The color palette is beautiful with the blues and yellows separated down the center yet also repeating, as in the curling iron. But what really makes it for me is the portrait of the older woman peering in and watching.

Like the contrast of expressions in this image and the unexpected moment of what looks like the father helping with the veil. Nicely framed image that gives a sense of place and intimacy through the doors.

Wow. Don’t you love it as a photographer when a scene like this occurs? The dog didn’t have to bite this photographer to realize a delightful moment. It makes me wonder who among the four (including the photographer) was experiencing the most bliss as the shutter was pressed.
